Although Apple has taken major steps to make the iPhone XS more durable, it’s still a $1,000 smartphone that’s mostly all screen. With this in mind, you may consider protecting the device with a case. For this particular roundup we’re going to be looking at cases meant to protect your device from dirt, drops and other harsh conditions. Here are the best rugged cases for iPhone XS and iPhone XS Max.

Best rugged cases for iPhone XS and iPhone XS Max

OtterBox DEFENDER Series

This long-running, rugged OtterBox case line features a two-layer design with a hard shell exterior and soft interior, covers to keep debris out of ports and buttons, and a built-in belt clip that doubles as a kickstand. Plus, it comes with a lifetime warranty.

LifeProof FRE Series

Need something waterproof? I don’t know if it gets better than LifeProof’s FREE Series cases. They are [relatively] sleek-looking, have a built-in screen protector, and capable of surviving 2 meter drops and being submerged in 2 meters of water for an hour.

SUPCASE Unicorn Beetle PRO

Don’t let this case’s silly name full you. The Unicorn Beetle Pro exceeds military drop standards and features a dual-layer, shock-resistant design, covers to protect ports from dirt and debris, and it comes with a holster that has a built-in, rotatable belt clip.

i-Blason Ares Series

The i-Blason Ares checks all of the “rugged” case boxes. It features a raised lip and extra cushioning on all 4 corners for added drop protection and it meets military standards for falls. I also like that the case has a clear back, so you can still see the phone.

Urban Armor Gear

If you’d like a case with a more adventurous design, check out the Urban Armor Gear line. It has a stylish cam pattern and meets all of the other criteria for a rugged case: military drop-tested, tactile button covers and a raised lip around the display.

And that should just about do it! Obviously we will update this list of best rugged cases for iPhone XS and iPhone XS Max as we are made aware of and test new ones. And as always, if you know of a case that isn’t on this list and should be, tell us about it in the comment section below.
